All through high school, the first years of college and his mission, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland planned to be a physician. But somewhere along the way, he changed his mind and became a teacher. As part of his message during a dinner in conjunction with the spring meeting for Collegium Aesculapium, Elder Holland spoke about what teachers and physicians have in common.
"As a teacher I still get to do a little of what you do as a healer, and certainly you as healers have the chance to do what I do as a teacher," said Elder Holland, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "For both groups, the Savior is the example."
